Math sucks. Change My Mind

Shoot.

113-88=?

113-88=?

No clue.

****9ot^2 = Tunafishha

If you can apply it to something, it’s fun. I studied to be an electrician for a while, and it was fun

Nice.

What did you do while being an electrician?

Math doesn't suck.....you suck at math.

Simplifies comparisons. Arguing with math proofs gives objective answers. You do not need to do arithmetic to do math.

[TheStaringFrog]

Math is pretty awesome, it's bad teachers who ruin math and make it suck. Many things that really matter are expressed using math and numbers: your bench press and height, for example . One could argue that numbers don't lie and math shows us the truth in pretty much any field (except women's studies, obviously).
Also, check these videos, if you're bored.

Has failed math every year since 7th grade crew.

350x1=350


Did that change your mind op?

[sooby]

imagine being a CCP sympathizer and hating math

don't they execute you for saying chit like this?

[zknarc]

You have to study it to a pretty high level to really appreciate it (no elitist, srs), much of what we get taught in school is to build for bigger things. I did 3 years of engineering maths in mech eng and that wasn't enough to really get into on the subject properly. The field is vast and the purest study of anything there is. It is the best language and tool(s) we have to describe the fundamental things in the world or the universe.

I remember being in a lecture on genome alignment and then getting into my car, sticking a location into my satnav and then realising the same maths was what underpinned both. Maybe you have to be a certain kind of person to think this is pretty nice.

[digital022]

Pretty sure that's a common thought among all conspiritards.

[DrugsToGetBig]

math is not my forte

[TheFitLord]

I never became an electrician, but I studied it and found it interesting

I do the executing.

Watt’s Law: P equals power in Watts, V equals voltage, I equals current measured in amps

Ohm’s Law, V equals voltage, I equals current measured in amps, R equals resistance measured in ohms
***********

If you can memorize these six equations, you can be an electrician

Or one equation and be able to rearrange it. Chit gets real with AC and 3 phase (hello trig and complex numbers)

Would you recommend taking and passing trigonometry before taking electrical technology classes?

[zknarc]

I'd look at the syllabus first but it is quite fundamental to anything related to AC.

[Unstumpable]

I never liked that math stuff

[Leon09]

Math makes me sleepy

[jordanair45]

I legit graduated HS without knowing Algebra.

**** got real after HS and I had to learn it or else I'ma be working a **** job for the rest of my life.

Took some classes, really enjoyed it. It's pretty fun. Its like puzzle solving and when you figure out a hard problem, it gives you a rush, T levels go through the roof.

Not for everyone tho. I hate people who code. I try to learn programming and I just can't. Same with writing/English/drawing....**** that

Here ya go OP:

This.

I am good with math, not great. Just glancing at higher level math makes me feel retarded and reminds me that I am just a pleb.

What you can do with math is legit sorcery. A smartphone would be magic eons ago, like a legit crystal ball.

[CeBKa]

i always loved math, especially geometry/complex equations etc but was never good enough. would probably become an engineer if I was better at it

[STLbuilder]

Negged, do that math


Jk

Golden ratio is a math formula used to judge facial beauty.

[numberguy12]

lol at that article posted above....savage.

OP when you get past grade school math, it really does become interesting. As a rule of thumb, the less practical the math in question is, the more interesting it is. When you study math, you are literally studying truth. There is a beauty and elegance to the subject that is not found in other subjects. Some of the most elegant proofs are also among the oldest- see for example the proof of the irrationality of the square root of 2, or of the infinitude of primes.

On a related note, if you live in Oregon then you longer need math or reading proficiency to graduate from high school.
